Want to blog for TUAW?
Apple news never rests, but sadly humans need to sleep at least 2 hours a night (at least that's what I get). In an effort to bring you the best Mac news as quickly and accurately as possible we need some new blood here at TUAW.Can you name all the cats that OS X versions have been named after? Do you know how to make your Mac do the darnedest things? Are you aware that Apple also makes computers? Then you might have what it takes to join our team of happy bloggers here at TUAW.
We'll be accepting applications until September 7th, so send the following things:
- A brief bio
- 3 samples of posts written in TUAW's style. One should be a review of something, another an opinion piece, and the third can be whatever strikes your fancy (existing blog posts cannot be used, this has to be new material)
- Your current Mac setup
- Your contact info
We're looking for general bloggers as well as people who have an intense knowledge of a particular Apple technology (AppleScript, QuickTime, Final Cut, what have you). Generalists and specialists are both welcome!
And yes, this is a paid position (please be over 18 years of age).

metalsticks, being in the US makes it easier for us to do the paperwork but we are open to people from all parts of the world.
i.Van, it would help to have a Mac but I suppose it isn't a requirement...

Does this position require posting at a particular time of day? I've got a day job (using macs for government media, by the way) but I might consider this if the posting schedule is flexible.

Joe, the schedule is very flexible (one might think there isn't even a schedule at all!).

That's my favorite kind of schedule! I'll get to work tonight. Or, since there's no schedule, whenever I damn well feel like it.

Hey, Scott -- what's the pay?
Reply
Scott McNulty said 4:17PM on 8-22-2007
Fritz, we'll let you know if we are interested. It is competitive for this kind of work though. :) Lame answer, I know.

I'd be interested to know what competitive is, aside from what TUAW might pay. What is the going salary for bloggers these days?

I'm wondering if we're required to find the news or just write about it.

Do you HAVE to be over 18? Us under-agers are pretty mature these days. :)

Scott McNulty said 4:58PM on 8-22-2007
Smivey, finding the news is part of blogging for TUAW.
doohikee, yep over 18 is a requirement. Sorry!

Fritz Laurel said 5:00PM on 8-22-2007
Okay, Scott, so how 'bout I send you everything but the 3 articles. If you're interested, you tell me how much. Then I send the articles for review.
Sound good?
Cheers,
FL

I am above the working age in my state, but below 18. So I could get a job at McDonald's, but I'd rather write blog posts than flip burgers. Any chance?
